In humans, the allele for brown eye color (B) is dominant toblue eye color (b). If two heterozygous parents produce children,what are the following probabilities?

A) the first two children have blue eyes

B) A total of 4 children two with blue eyes and the other twowith brown eyes.

C) The first child has blue eyes, and the next two have browneyes

I believe the answer is C due to the ratio of 1 (homologousdominant brown): 2 (heterozygous brown): 1 (homologous bluerecessive). I'm not sure
